Hi All, The community bonding period for GSoC is coming to a close at the end of this week.
By now many of you have already seen our proposals, during the community bonding period we each got wiki access and copied in our proposals. For anybody interested they can be viewed at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Student+Project During the community bonding period I had some brief emails with Sebastien about my project (Create config management recipes to install CloudStack). >From the get go I was planning on doing this with XenServer, Vagrant and Puppet. After talking with Sebastien I will be switching to Chef and looking at supporting both XenServer and KVM if time allows. Along with this I looked at the work of others, this included the Chef Recipes by CloudOps (https://github.com/cloudops/cookbook_co-cloudstack) and the Cloudstack-Dev-VMs project (https://github.com/djs55/cloudstack-dev-vms), there will hopefully be room for reusing some of their work. I created a repo on github where I will be pushing my work as the GSoC period goes on, for anybody interested its viewable at https://github.com/imduffy15/GSoC-2014 At the moment it is just a XenServer vagrant box and a Mysql + NFS VagrantFile using the cloudops recipes I updated the JIRA ticket with a break down of tasks I want to achieve: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6114 All feedback is very welcome, I'm looking forward to another summer of open source :-) Thanks, Ian
